Lexar adds 16GB USB drive

Lexar Media announced on Friday it will add a 16GB JumpDrive to its FireFly USB range, doubling the previous largest capacity of the 8GB FireFly (pictured). Like the rest of the FireFly JumpDrives, the newest member of the family is both Mac and PC compatible. Windows users who purchase the 16GB FireFly will get a 30-day trial of Dmailer V7 software that will allow them to back up and synchronize files, including emails stored in Microsot Outlook and Outlook Express.

The 16GB JumpDrive FireFly is only available in red, denoting its capacity and keeping in line with the remaining FireFly drives, which can be had in 8GB, 4GB, 2GB and 1GB and are likewise color-coded.

The 16GB Lexar JumpDrive FireFly is now available for sale, priced at $99.
